An automated backslope cutting system which, based on a survey of an area, automatically adjusts a scraper blade during the cutting of a ditch backslope. The automated backslope cutting system generally includes a scraper which is automatically adjusted by a computing device to effectuate cutting of backslopes for a ditch based on a desired cut profile. The desired cut profile may be manually entered by the operator and automatically processed by the computing device. The area is surveyed with a positioning sensor to determine an optimal desired cut profile requiring a minimum number of cuts. A proximity sensor may be provided to accommodate for rotational movement of the cutting blade as the scraper performs cuts. A control software is provided for execution by the computing device to provide functionality including the automatic adjustment of hydraulic actuators controlling movement of the cutting blade as the scraper cuts the ditch and backslopes.

The reversible bucket attachment system for a skid steer includes a mounting plate that is configured to attach to a skid steer or any vehicle. The mounting plate includes an armature that extends rearwardly, and includes a pivoting point on a distal end. The pivoting point enables a bucket to attach thereto. Moreover, the bucket is able to pivot with respect to the armature via the pivoting point. The bucket is able to rotate from a generally parallel orientation with respect to the armature to an obtuse orientation. The bucket is further defined with an inner surface and an outer surface. The mounting plate is configured to attach to the skid steer or vehicle in one of two positions.
